Message

To the me I used to be —

A message from who I am today, straight from my heart.

Hey, you back then…

Everything must’ve felt so heavy, so painful,

To the point you almost said

“I’m done,” giving up on everything.

Just thinking about the future

Made you hate yourself.

It was so hard, wasn’t it?

You were trying so, so hard.

You forced a smile every day,

Thinking it would make things easier,

That things would somehow fall into place.

But nothing changed —

Not a single thing.
